Cesar Chavez was born 83 years ago today. He left us nearly 17 years ago. He got his own postage stamp back in 2003 or seven cents ago. Commentary will be checking out the H-Town City Council meeting today on the municipal tube to see what kind of discussion goes on about selling The Summit, [...]

Commentary has to hand it to H-Town’s Mayor for making the tough decisions. Facing a serious budget shortfall, the Mayor is proposing increasing the health insurance premiums of retired city employees – ouch! Check out today’s Chron story. What are the alternatives? Layoffs or furloughs? Raising property taxes? Cutting services. Increasing certain fees? Installing more [...]

Apparently, the Lone Star State, Harris County, H-Town, and local Latinos are lagging behind the rest of the U.S. of A. on returning 2010 census forms. Well what did they expect? Check out what was in Saturday’s Chron: “As of Friday afternoon, only 27 percent of Texas households had filled in and returned their census [...]

Who was the ‘Stros Opening Day pitcher in 2000, the year we first wore the brick red? Commentary doesn’t think the case has been made to tinker with H-Town’s City Council term limits. At last night’s meeting only one person got up to speak during the public session. Less than a handful of folks showed [...]

The fallout from Sunday’s health care reform vote includes threats being made to Dem members of Congress that voted yes. The media has been playing the recordings of some of the threatening phone calls – yikes! Who is to blame? I think it is a sign of the times and that’s too bad. With 24-7 [...]

First of all let me say Commentary isn’t a soccer fan – sorry. I’ve never been to a Dynamo game and it is not on my things to do list. I think I’ve watched a couple or so World Cup games on the tube. That being said I do support those that are trying to [...]

A day after getting their arses run on health care reform, GOP leaders said they would not be cooperating on issues like Guantanamo, immigration, and financial services. That’s a gamble they take if they refuse to work with Dems. On the immigration reform front, this will just anger Latino voters (of course it will not [...]

This past weekend’s health care reform debate on CNN was definitely must see TV. It was historical and dramatic as vote Numero 216 flashed on the screen at 9:45 pm local time last night. I actually think last night’s vote will help Dems this November. Many were writing off Dems the day after the Massachusetts [...]
